Full biographies include promotions, decorations, appointments and posts. Especially significant are the combat narratives that resulted in the award. Numerous holders of the decoration contributed photos and documents for this lavishly illustrated series.

About this title

Review:

"Jag tycker det har ar en mycket bra bok. Alltsammans gick till precis som herr von Keusgen har beskrivit det" Hans Seibach, veteran fran motstandsnastet 62 WN; "Battre och askadligare kan man inte skriva om en stoedjepunkt och dess soldater." Hein Severloh, veteran fran WN 62; "Den har boken kan alla rekommenderas eftersom den ytterst askadligt skildrar stoedjepunktens sanna historia,den roerande manskliga sidan av hur den intogs liksom stridshandlingarnas tragiska omfattning, samtidigt som den hedrar de besegrade soldaterna." Volker Gremler, redaktionell medarbetare i Deutsches Waffenjournal.
